5 Best Gaming Deals in SA this Weekend

Whether you’re looking to pick up a decent console deal or hungry for the next game to add to your library, we’ve rounded up some of the best deals on offer from local online and physical retailers:

Deathloop | PS5 (Loot) – R410

From Arkane Studios, the team behind the much-loved Dishonored series, comes Deathloop, a first-person shooter which adds a time-loop element to the already super-slick gunplay. The game didn’t set the world on fire, but it does provide some great shooting, an intriguing story, and some clever Hitman-style routes to wiping your targets out.

Rugby 22 – PS5 | PS4 | Xbox One (Loot) – R485

Rugby 22 may not be the definitive rugby game we’ve been waiting for or the spiritual successor to Rugby 08 that so many gamers want, but it’s a different spin on the rugby sim genre, giving you a lot of tools and customisation to play a tactical game of rugby and will scratch that itch of true rugby purists. If you’re willing to give it a try and have some patience with its mechanics, there’s a lot to enjoy with Rugby 22.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (NexusHub) – R549

It’s safe to say that Insomniac don’t make bad games, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart doesn’t break that notion. It’s a fantastic return for Playstation’s beloved lombax and robot duo, who bring with them a new playable heroine in Rivet, a counterpart of Ratchet from a different dimension. The platforming is as snappy and enjoyable as ever, the levels are whacky and quirky, the humour is Pixar-esque, and the franchise-favourite weapons are zanier than ever. For the price, it’s a steal.

The Last of Us: Part II (Loot) – R389

The Last of  Us Part II is a tragedy from start to finish; but that’s not because it’s a bad game, but because it’s sombre, visceral, provocative, and pulls on your heartstrings when you least expect it. Much like its predecessor, this is not a game that’ll leave you feeling warm and fluffy inside, but rather leave you questioning who the real monsters of The Last of Us‘ post-apocalyptic world are.
